Wisconsin's looking a bit short on snowfall so far this year. For those missing it, you could take a leaf out of this ski lodge's book and start turning sewage into snow.
There's lots of talking going on about fracking and natural gas drilling, and Popular Mechanics looks at the top 10 controversial claims surrounding the debate. Well-written, packed full of facts, and very balanced.
More protests in Ohio, this time over fracking spurred on by recent earthquakes.
The future of energy savings is finding ways to harness untapped sources of energy, like the pressure that builds up as water travels from the water tower to my faucet. Municipal water systems in the Northeast are tapping this energy to run their systems.
